We had a very quiet one here in Austin which was a nice change of pace.

So, the above post probably seems a little strange if you a regular reader, I don't usually share portraits here-but hey-this year has been so completely full of change for me-why not?

Pictured above is my friend, Brooke. Moving to Austin this summer without knowing a single soul (well, James moved here, too-but you get the idea...) was a rough transition for me. Brooke welcomed me with open arms and has been a dear friend here.

Just about any day now Brooke will be giving birth to a little baby girl. I am so thrilled and excited for her! She's been so open and honest about her pregnancy and her fears, hopes and dreams about motherhood. I totally admire her for that. Watching her progress and seeing her family grow has been a treat! I cannot wait for little baby Juniper gets here. I know Brooke will be a great mother.

Sometimes I get all anxious and consumed with little things that don't really matter much. It's nice to step back and look at the happy, important things in life. Thanks for reminding me to do that, Brooke!

If you'd like to order a print of a photo you've seen here on the blog but that isn't it in my shop it is super easy. You can order the size you'd like right here or if you prefer etsy you can order right here. Then I will email you to find out what print you'd like.

All right, that's enough self promotion from me. Hope you are all having a lovely day out there!

Thanks for the enthusiasm in the comments on yesterday's post. I still plan on keeping this a 99% film photo blog, but it's nice to now I can change it up now and then ;)

So after my five senses post, I have a little holiday themed photo post for you all. I know some have rules about not posting about holiday things until December 1st or after Thanksgiving or whatever-but I'm already feeling excited about the coming season. This weekend I'll be decorating a bit and getting all my holiday shop goodies ready for next week. Anyway...onto five senses friday....

For those of you who are new readers (or maybe never understood what I was blabbing about) five senses friday was started years ago by my friend, Shari Altman. I use it weekly as way to sit down and reflect on what the past days have been like for me.

I would love it if you played along-you can leave your own version in the comments or on your blog.
